Basoda Special Sheetla Saptami Ashtami Mahasankalp
What if a simple offering could protect your loved ones from diseases and misfortunes?
Sheetla Saptami and Ashtami (Basoda) are sacred days dedicated to Maa Sheetla, the goddess who safeguards devotees from ailments, especially skin diseases like smallpox. But why is stale food (basi bhojan) offered instead of fresh meals?
Legend speaks of two women—one devoted, one defiant. The devoted woman honored Maa Sheetla on Saptami with basi bhojan and received divine blessings. Another woman who dishonored the goddess by offering fresh food, leading to afflicting her children with smallpox. Realizing her mistake, she repented on Ashtami, offered basi bhojan, and was granted forgiveness. Since then, these two days have been revered for seeking Maa Sheetla’s protection.
The Sheetla Mata Temple in Varanasi is a powerful center for her worship. Performing Chadhava here on these tithis invokes divine blessings, protection from illnesses, and family well-being, making it a spiritually significant offering.
